Re: Bottom 3
Every team at the bottom can name a dozen games they let slip. That is normal. People are wrong to say Muric has lost 1 in 8, it is in 7, so 'some' improvement started under Trafford but when those 2 West Ham goals went in VK probably thought that is it a change was needed.

Unlikely. Forest will beat Sheff Utd tomorrow you’d expect, which will put them 3 points clear and with a superior goal difference. Luton would then probably need to win their last two and even then wouldn’t be guaranteed to stay up. They’ve failed to beat an Everton side with little to play for to...

Re: The summer Trafford/Muric dilemma
I would also keep him as number 1 (no disrespect to young Traffs) and value Muric at about £30m given age and improvement potential, but I still see him going in the summer for £10m-£15m.
Basically, we have probably, left it too late, and there will be a lot of bad news to come if we have.

So far so good but City are poor and need a second.

Still expect an appeal stitch up, not in our favour.
